(MURFREESBORO) Murfreesboro Police have cuffed and charged a man with robbing convenience stores along Memorial Boulevard for the past week and a half.
The final heist apparently did Longmire in. Officers spotted a subject nearby who matched the description given by the clerk. When they detained him, police found a BB gun that looked like a shotgun. The suspect was identified as Mark Longmire, Jr.
The stores robbed included:
• Mapco Mart 1415 Memorial Blvd On 10/18/19 around 1:48 a.m., a man wearing all black entered the store with a shotgun demanding money from the cash register and safe and cigarettes. He got away with several hundred dollars and several packs of Newport cigarettes.
• Smoke Vape & Pipe 1004 Memorial Blvd On 10/18/19 around 11:00 p.m., the clerk told police a man wearing a black hoodie and ski mask, pointing a shotgun demanding money from the cash register and the victim's pockets. The clerk cooperated and the suspect fled the scene on foot.
• Mapco Mart BP 1320 Memorial Blvd On 10/19/19 at approximately 1:57 a.m., the clerk stated a man wearing black hoodie and black covering his face, brandishing a shotgun, entered the store demanding money.
• Murfreesboro Police Chief Michael Bowen said, "As of this time we are able to solve at least four robberies with this one arrest. I am thankful for the hard work and investigative efforts by our officers in identifying and arresting this suspect."
Longmire is charged with four counts of Aggravated Robbery and one count of Aggravated Kidnapping. He is scheduled to appear in Rutherford County General Sessions Court November 21, 2019. His total bond was set at $45,000.
